Alright, I was poking through the wiki as I occasionally like to do, when I noticed something rather jarring. There seem to be a couple conflicting lines...

"As far as gravity and aerodynamics are concerned, the fairy is still her "original" diminutive size"

"A fairy's "real" size is whatever their current size is."

The fairy being blown about by wind would imply that small and fragile is their "real size," since that's the size that dictates the fairy's physics.

Also, on the topic of this, if the fairy's physics are that of a smaller being, wouldn't a fairy be incredibly weighed down with humans in its stomach? If we imply that it gets caught up in the wind as if it were smaller, then eating one human would double its weight, three would triple, and so on. How would it even pick up a human without struggling? How do the fairies not bust their jaws when they have a human in their mouth? Do humans maintain their weight when they are shrunk?

In conclusion, I feel the line "As far as gravity and aerodynamics are concerned, the fairy is still her "original" diminutive size" causes far more problems than it solves, if it was even meant to solve anything to begin with.

Feel free to counter my point, contribute, agree, or shun this heathenish non-believer from the community forever.

I think its just trying to say that it suffers no ill effects. Kind of like how Nagas and so on can move, jump and roll around as if they were just scaled up humans. The fairy can still buzz around, and doesn't become some big, lumbering slow-poke in the sky...although, fairies ARE still unsuited to high altitude or high-speed flight. That's the harpies' domain.

Ah yes, so I essentially overthought/misinterpreted the line? ^^;

Not exactly an inconsistency, but if a Fairy's mentality about her own size manipulation is "I want to be bigger/smaller than this." instead of "I want to be X foot/inch tall.", does that mean that when it comes to other creatures such as a prey, their mentality is "I want this to be smaller/bigger (than me)." instead of "I want this to be X inch/foot tall."?

Also, the wiki does mention a giant Fairy trying to fly on windy days as and odd, yet funny spectacle. What exactly does that mean?

I think it would depend on the fairy's mentality. I'm pretty sure that even though the general thing is "I want this to be bigger/smaller than", there might be those who think in feet, meters and the sort. Not many of them, maybe they're rare, but still it's a possibility.

I think it simply means that a fairy doesn't gain weight or -to the air- surface area by changing size. As though their growth is simply magical "padding", and air and gravity -at least Felaryan air and gravity- pays it no mind.
This padding obviously also awards the fairy strength and durability, though.
